Brandi,

I hope I can finish this before my lunch is over, if not, I'll write more after work. I drove long haul for 20 years. Truth be known, I made some of the best money I've ever made, BUT, I owned my own truck. Ask him if that's an investment he's willing to make. It's very expensive. I paid $230,000 for my truck. Almost $800 to replace a single tire, if you want a good one. The cost of of regular servicing is enough to gag you, and that's going by memory of what I paid many years ago. I can't imagine what it costs now. A reputable driving school will cost big bucks, and most won't guarantee that you will pass the driving test. The licence is very expensive too. Ahhh, but you get to see some beautiful country out on the road...which is great if you don't have a family. Most of my driving life I was divorced. My oldest daughter forgave me for all the things I missed with her growing up, I was lucky. Ask your hubby if he can handle 6 to 8 weeks away from you at a time, some companies insist on that, especially in the beginning.

And one last thing Brandi. Ask Christopher if he's ready for the beating his body will take. I've had four foot surgeries, two rotator cuff surgeries, a double discectomy, and a knee surgery, all due to the beatings I put my body thru driving truck. It wasn't worth it.

I hope he doesn't go thru with this. If there is anything I've said here to help change his mind, then I'm glad. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. But Brandi, hope he changes his mind for his own welfare. Make this about him, not you. That's the best way to show him that you care.

Much love to you,
Greg
